Wow. Those are pretty random. Though NFL 2K5 is meant to be good though - Vader I'm sure will tell you even more.

All up - couple of gift cards, $200, deodorant, a bluetooth speaker (for the car) and some shirts.

GUI bloopers 2 sounds interesting.  And you can't go wrong with NSMW (I'm hoping).

Nothing for me, but I have my usual load of games from import coming tomorrow, including NSMBW, Little King Story and Spirit Tracks (and I'm sure a few more I forgot).

Sorry to hear that. Does it work at all or is it completely dead?

A week or so ago, mine starting making a loud buzzing noise whenever I put in a disk. It still works fine, but that noise is annoying as hell. Sad

My Wii won't read any discs. The rest works just fine.

A couple books and DVDs courtesy of mister Anthony Bourdain.  Got to love No Reservations.  Greatest show ever.  There's a few history books in there as well.  And as far as gaming I got the following:

RE4 Wii Edition (took me long enough, but I finally got it!!)

And my wife got me a Verizon Android phone.  That might count as a gaming gift since it's got all those touch-pad kind of games.  Neato phone though.  Spent about 6 hours just playing with that thing.

That sucks. My Gamecube had a disk read problem once. I managed to fix it by gently cleaning the lens with a dry Q-tip. I guess it was just dusty.
